It was launched on an Atlas V 541. The cost of the launch service plus the cost of the operations to fly the rover to Mars and run it for one Martian year on the surface was about $700M. Written Jun 12, 2015.
You can reasonably assume rocket fuel is at least 5 to 10 times more expensive than that, or $2500 to $5000 per ton. So letâs start the planning. Step 1: Since weâve assumed that our Mars spacecraft is already in LEO, we need to get it into a high Earth orbit.ompare this with a one-way trip that only required 7 tons/ton of payload. The bottom line of all these calculations is that you can get about eight times as much stuff to Mars for the same amount of fuel if you send it one-way instead of trying to bring it back!
